Samaru Kataf, Junction town in Zangon Kataf, Nigeria.

Samaru Kataf sits at a crucial intersection connecting several routes to Kagoro, Zonkwa, and Zangon Kataf in southern Kaduna State.

The town's name combines 'Samaru' from a 1922-1945 agricultural research program and 'Kataf' referring to the Atyap people of the region.

The Atyap community celebrates their heritage during the Ayet Atyap festival at Agwatyap's palace grounds each December with traditional performances.

Travelers can reach Samaru Kataf through Yakubu Gowon Airport in Jos or Kaduna International Airport, followed by ground transportation via public buses.

The native name Agut Ntswuo translates to 'high ground of Gardenia erubescens' due to the prevalence of this specific shrub in the area.
